Ahh, September — what a gorgeous month. Spring has finally arrived, the sunlight sticks around a little longer, and warm days promise that summer is on our doorstep.
I’ll admit, I’m a little biased (and if you’re also born in September, you’ll understand), but this time of year really does hold a special kind of magic. And when it comes to beauty, it’s hands-down one of the best months.
We always tend to see a wave of fresh new launches in September. Holiday gift sets and limited editions start popping up, as well as beauty products that are designed to mentally take us to a tropical island. These launches are here to break us out of a winter slump, and to perk up tired skin for long days and even longer nights to come.
While some products are brand new, others are just new to us (but permanent fixtures in our routines). Fun, fresh and perfect for spring, here is a wrap of the best new beauty in September.

Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Brightening Powder
$50 at Sephora
“As someone with combination skin, finding a powder that controls my oily T-zone without drying me out is always a challenge. That’s why I’ve been so impressed with Fenty Beauty’s Bright Fix Powder. I opted for the shade banana and it instantly brightens my under-eyes beautifully without ever looking dry, ashy, or cakey.”
– Chanelle Mansour, Shopping Editor

- Extends foundation and concealer wear
- Brightens and blurs
Available at:
- $50 from Sephora
Trudon Mystique Extrait
$459 at Libertine Parfumerie
“This new launch from Trudon has instantly become one of my favourite fragrances. While it is on the more expensive side, a little goes a long way (and there is a travel size if you want to try before to buy). A slightly spicy scent with patchouli and saffron, it also has a softness to it thanks to amber, leather and oud. It’s a deeper scent that leans slightly more winter-coded, but I can definitely still see myself wearing this on a night out.”
– Maddy Wilson, Shopping Content Producer
Key features:
- 100ml
- Created by Émilie Bouge
- Channels spiritual intensity and mystical allure
Available at:
- $459 from Libertine Parfumerie

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Triclone Skin Tech™ Concealer
$53 at Sephora
“Ever since this concealer made its way into my beauty bag, all my others have been completely forgotten. I love the creamy formula — perfect on its own as a lightweight base, or layered over my Haus Labs foundation (also incredible) when I want extra coverage and brightness.”
– Chanelle Mansour, Shopping Editor
Key features:
- Long-wearing, non-comedogenic
- Visibly blurs, brightens and conceals
- Medium, buildable coverage
Available at:
- $53 from Sephora
Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream
$48 at Sephora
“Recently launched into Sephora Australia, the Aestura range is a fantastic, dermatologist tested, sensitive skincare range.

Packed with ceramides, it helps restore and protect the skin, while also providing long-lasting hydration.”
